Section 5:
Searching, Finding and Navigating
With the exception of the GO TO command in the Location Information
screen, the iWAY's search functions all begin by pressing the
FIND but-
ton on the main menu screen. When the
FIND button is selected the first
Find menu will appear. Each Find menu contains different search op-
tions. The options in all three Find menus are part of a database of
POIs stored on the iWAY's hard drive.
The iWAY Find Menu (Find 1 page).
The Find menu, like the Options menu, is divided into three menus.
When you first open the Find menu you will always see page 1. To ac-
cess the other Find menus choose the appropriate number at the top of
the screen.
You can search for items even before the unit has acquired a position. If
you conduct a search before your position has been determined, the
unit will display distance and bearing to the selected destination from
the unit's last known position.
In the three Find menus search options have been divided into differ-
ent categories. This is designed to save you time when looking for the
most common search fields. Gas, lodging, restaurants, shopping, attrac-
tions and airports all have their own separate search screens.
These search features can be convenient but when in doubt about a
particular POI you can use the
SEARCH ALL POIS BY NAME button in the
second Find menu. The unit has a powerful search database to help you
refine your search and find the precise location you are looking for. The
Find Address menus allow you to search for a particular POI by street
name, city, province, country or zip code, depending on which version of
the iWAY you have.
